Product: Omen 880-160se Desktop
Operating System: Microsoft Windows 10 (64-bit)

Just upgraded to this newest version from the previous via update check. I have since lost the HP support assist taskbar icon even though it is set to on in the software.

@FattysGoneWild,

 

Welcome to the HP Support Community!

 

Right click on an empty area of the Taskbar, move the cursor over Toolbars and click 'HP Support Assistant' to place a tick against it.

 

If you wish to show appreciation for my efforts, mark my post as Accept as Solution. Your feedback counts!

 

Cheers!

As I explained earlier in my OP. I got the newer version through the internal software update check. About tab and check for latest version. I am including a picture of it. I advise not to download it if you want the HP taskbar icon to work again and properly. I rolled back to previous version and all is well again.
